SINGAPORE: The best of Singapore's defence capabilities will be on display come Aug 9, as the Mobile Column returns to the National Day Parade (NDP) after five years. Spectators are in for a treat as this year's display will feature machines never seen before in previous parades.

This year's Mobile Column will showcase the strength of the nation with an awe-inspiring display of combat and emergency vehicles. Officers execute their roles with absolute precision - the result of training that began in May.
ADVERTISING

Over 170 assets from both the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the Home Team will be featured. They will form a two-kilometre long convoy that will move past the Padang.

"This year is Singapore's Golden Jubilee," said Major Cai Dexian, chairman of the NDP's Mobile Column. " And because of that, we believe that every single aspect of the parade and show - we will do our very best to bring a very special experience, a very special show to all Singaporeans.

"The Mobile Column is no different. This year, we wanted to make it special. We want to hark back to the traditions of past Mobile Columns and yet make it brand new in very significant ways."

So while familiar favourites will feature in the Mobile Column, parade-goers will also be introduced to other capabilities - seven of SAF's newest - like the Armoured Engineer Vehicle which can be used to overcome obstacles and allow forces to advance.

The Mobile Column is also set against multimedia videos that tell the stories of those who have contributed to Singapore's security like the pioneers who built the nation's defence and security forces.

Retired colonel Goh Lye Choon participated in the first Mobile Column in 1969. It proved to be an unforgettable experience.

"We received an order from the Ministry of Defence that the Prime Minister wanted us to go on the National Day Parade with 18 tanks," said Mr Goh. "We didn't have a tank driving circuit, we didn't have anything. We had to test the tank for serviceability. So what we did was drive the tank round the camp and round the camp - it was a British camp - they had a six-hole golf course. So we had to test the tanks on the golf course. By the time 18 tanks went through, the course was beyond recognition."

One career not going well,..........lets say I will not name him. Was Captain in 1983. Then in 2010 he was LTC. Imagine 27 years to promote only 2 ranks. hahahhahahaha. He was a real asshole fucktard, was my colleague in Armour at that time. I was always laughing when he kenna hanta kaki for so many years as Major. SAF really hated this idiot, but he did not get the hint to fuck off. He was SAF scholar. At that time, many Armour SAF scholars were send on course to other countries for armour training. SOme for example were send to the Bundeswehr in Germany for Leopard 1 training. That one shiok like shit, because at that time, the Germans allowed a mobile brothel in the field for their soldiers to chiong during exercise. This fucktard kenna send to India in their desert for training. I think he mentioned to me his three years there was non stop lau sai from the curry. hahahhahaha. Now he got retired and some one took pity on him and posted him to MFA.

I know of one SAFOS, who intentionally refused to do well, so that he ROD, after his bond, as a CPT, so that the opportunity cost is not too high.
I do not know of any other SAFOS, who ROD as a CPT.
With respect, even the not so 'military" Lim Hng Khiang, ROD as LTC.
